I am an over-achieving jogger who has accomplished more in marathon running than I ever thought possible, and now I've turned my efforts to triathlons and am shooting for my first Ironman sometime in 2010. My hope is to inspire, encourage and motivate athletes of all ages and abilities.

Hello (& Goodbye) Dolly, Welcome Back Running

Since my bike wreck on Sunday and then not being able to get in to get my hand x-rayed until yesterday, my plan was to run yesterday after I got my brace. Well, along comes Hurricane Dolly, and although the eye was about 200 miles southwest of Houston, we had some pretty strong outer rain bands yesterday and today.

I finally got out late this afternoon and to say it was warm and humid is an understatement. The reason the picture looks so fuzzy is because the air was so thick. This picture was taken right after my run, and I was soaked with sweat. Thankfully I went back to the doctor this morning and picked up an extra brace, so now I have one to train and then shower in, and one to wear that is clean during the day and night.

About Me

After achieving (ok, over-achieving) more in running than I ever believed possible, I have now set my sites on doing an Ironman sometime in 2010.
My real passion is to inspire others towards their goals through my web site, Faithful Soles which is dedicated to motivating athletes of all ages and abilities. I also have on Faithful Soles what I believe to be the only categorized and searchable multi-sport athlete Blog Database on the internet where members may find blogs of interest to them by selecting categories such as age, sex, location, experience level, and events completed and/or in training for, as well as a brief description of what each blog is about. You can also link your own blog to the database (just click on "Blog Database" in the main menu on the home page and then click on the "Link your blog for free" button on the right-hand side of that page).
